THE GREAT CASTLE

Two flags.

Two flags (one for each team) are placed at the two long sides of the field. After dividing the field in half you entrust the right side to one team and the left side to the other. Each team must try to bring the flag (which is on the opposite side) back to their field. It starts with all players on the halfway line. When the game begins, players can decide whether: 1) Go retrieve the flag to bring it back to your camp. 2) Stay in your own camp by trying to stop your opponents. When a player is in the opponent's field, he can be "stopped" if the enemy team's defenders touch him. In this case he will have to stand still until one of his teammates releases him by touching him in turn. When a player touches his own flag he is forced to keep it. He can't give it to teammates, but is forced to take it to his own camp (trying of course not to be touched by opponents). Defenders may not stand within two feet of the flag. If the player with the flag is touched, he will have to stay still like the others until he is freed by his teammates. When stopped, defenders must stand at least two feet away from him.

The team that gets to carry the flag on their own field.
